Oh my God, that's dreadful. It looks so sore the poor thing. I do say fair play to her for informing others though.
I too did a day's training with zero hair experience. It's one thing to learn the art but another thing to master it so being Miss Meticulous, I practiced and practiced until my arms almost fell off. Virtually everyone I knew had hair extensions at some point and I spent the best part of four months gaining experience before I even considered going loose on the public. I read and researched on this forum and the internet, tried and tested hair and products and only then, when I felt remotely confident, did I even think about advertising.
I possibly over-compensated but due to my lack of knowledge I wasn't about to destroy anyones hair!
As a result I felt far more confident when I started and equally confident that I wasn't going to inflict any damage.
The problem is that these people learnt the art and get going straight away thinking that it's easy. I think it's appalling and I hope they get stung. It's so unfair when the rest of us are running a fair and honest business to have people like that create a bad reputation and put people off extensions for life.
I've recently had 2 clients who are the result of bad extensionists. They have come to me with poor extensions and their extensionists (?) have failed to answer their calls or return their emails. One of them was a post-chemo patient having extensions for the first time. She paid just under �200 for 'three month extensions' and couldn't understand why they fell out in the first wash. Probably because they were glued with liquid gold by the weft??
Suffice to say the extensionist never answered her calls.
I find it absolutely disgusting.
Sorry if that was a rant but I feel really stongly about this as I know we all do.
Let's hope the trainer steps in and does something. Though I pose the question, how do you teach someone to install extensions that badly?
Hi there Laura, yes that's the person, she seems to be a right nasty woman. A girl who comes on the board also rang her up to buy some hair from her and she was asking about the different grades that her hair came in and she got dead nasty about it. That's customer service for you lol. Glad you like your hair. I'm doing Sarah's hair today who were on about x
Its Laura here,hope youre well,(by the way the hair is brill thanx!)
Just noticed you'd commented on this hair thats been badly fitted,is this the connect2hair you'd told me about when I saw you? Dont mean to sound nasty but it seems that quite a few people have trouble with this company. Anyway I'll speak to you soon chick.
Luv laura xx

I know a girl also trained by connect2hair they all have one thing in common they are taught to apply extensions bond on bond ie. all together in a block rather than in rows there seems to be no structure to the application just randomly shoving them in! As for enormous bonds like that i think thats just pure laziness and sloppy work and obvious over loading of sections, she is lucky to have any hair left!! hope she at least gets her money back. grrrr

Oh Yes Im intrigued to hear the outcome! I love a good "get revenge on the cowboy" story! Im Lucy new to the forum I have been doing extensions for about 12 years now and am fed up with having to sort out other peoples mess! there are too many out there willing to do a bodge job at a cheap price but they are never around to fix the problem afterwards! us brits are too polite though and never like to complain!!

yes i agree there is to sides to every story although i cant imagine how that girl could have got stray hairs from above and below the bond mixed in with the bond??
surley thats down to the extensionist..? i just cant see a way that it could have been caused by something she did. x

As the story goes there is two sides to every story and I dont think that we all know the full story of this particular and might never get to know it.

hiya leelou...you didnt offend me at all i was just saying that not all of us that are new to extensions are as bad as the lady in the advert..i totally agree with you about the courses being so easy to take and if the courses that people take are anything like the first one i did then god help us! thats why i took another one and i have been practicing none stop for about 10 months not along time i agree but i am confident with my work now and have just started to charge people for doing it as when i was practicing i only charged for the hair etc..
i hope that 7 years down the line i can be where you are saying how long i have been doing it and im sure i will...im am a hair extension junkie now..im totally addicted..lol
oh yeah i know leelou aint a snob i saw her in town..lol

yeah lets sue each other!! then we could buy a garage full of porsches!!but seriously, public liability insurance is good though and does ensure a certain amount of professionalism, and a responsible attitude towards the services we provide!
ooh i feel a claim coming on!! amanda im gonna pull my extensions out and burn my head with the shrinkies tool,sue the pants off ya, and a ferrarri will be mine!!!!! why did i never think of it before? ONLY JOKING!!!!
